Bresimar Automação

What Bresimar Automação does

Bresimar Automação, S.A. is a Portuguese industrial automation solutions provider founded in 1982 and headquartered in Esgueira, Portugal, operating with 51–100 employees as an independent private company (Sociedade Anónima). The company functions as an authorized and, in multiple cases, exclusive distributor in Portugal for more than 30 international industrial automation brands — including Siemens, Beckhoff, Banner Engineering, ROKAE Robotics, Pilz, Keyence, Fluke, Datalogic, OnRobot, Denso Robotics, and Turck — covering six product categories: control and automation, instrumentation and processes, drives and actuators, robotics, systems and software, and probes and transmitters.

Its core technology offering is the integration and resale of multi-vendor automation stacks: collaborative and industrial robots (ROKAE, Denso, OnRobot), PC-based control systems and TwinCAT software (Beckhoff), SIMATIC controllers and SCADA (Siemens), safety systems (Pilz, Banner, Fortress, Reer), IIoT gateways and connectivity (Turck, INSYS, Tekon), and machine vision (SVS-Vistek, TIV AI camera). Beyond hardware, Bresimar layers services including pre-sale technical consultation, post-sale commissioning and support, and the Bresimar Academy training program with an annually published training plan (2026 plan currently promoted) and a technical magazine ('Automação').

The business model is B2B direct technical sales with quote-based pricing; revenues come from hardware sales, software/system licenses, and professional services (technical support and training). Customers are industrial manufacturers in Portugal — automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and general manufacturing — across use cases such as process automation, robotics integration, control systems implementation, and process instrumentation. The company is supported by EU/Portuguese government programs (Compete 2020/2030, Portugal 2020, Centro 2020, PRR) and is investing in AI-enabled offerings through partner products (TwinCAT CoAgent, TIV AI camera) and EU-funded projects such as AdaptiHand.
